Watch out for
- This settlement covers only financial overpayment. Personal injury and wrongful death claims are not part of it.
- Individual payouts are unknown right now. How much you get depends on how many valid claims are filed and the Court-approved Plan of Allocation.
- The lawsuit keeps going against Amneal and Walmart — this settlement is only with Teva, Granules, and Heritage.
- There are two separate settlement funds: $3 million from Teva and $2.55 million from Granules and Heritage. If you bought from both manufacturers, you can file under both funds.
